[Assessment of peripheral nerve pathways in patients with chronic mercury intoxication].
The analysis of the functional state of sensoric and motorial components of the peripheral nerves as well as the somatosensoric transferring ways based on the data of the electroneuromyographic studies and the registration of the somatosensoric induced potentials in the persons with the diagnosis of chronic mercury intoxication is given in this paper. A sensoric-motorial type of the peripheral nerve injury on the upper and lower extremities with a dominant involvement into the pathological process of a sensoric component has been revealed. The delay of time-course of the impulse transport along somatosensoric transferring ways at the different levels from the neck section to the crust representation has also been revealed. This may be a result of the central somatosensoric way injury in the patients examined.
